TBS analyst Eric Karros believes that the Dodgers were a boring team before Manny Ramirez came to town in early August. "Take him out of the lineup, and it's a boring team," Karros said. He also believes that the addition of Rafael Furcal into the lineup after back surgery had a huge impact, as well. "Over the last couple of months, what is the Dodgers' record? Just a couple games over .500," Karros added. "Furcal may have more of an impact on this team than (Ramirez)."
